Abstract

This study aims to reveal the general development of tourism literature in Turkey between 2000 and 2010. To this end, 1217 articles that were published in Turkish refereed journals during this period were examined using bibliographic methods of analysis, within the scope of several parameters. The analysis revealed that Anatolia: Journal of Tourism Research (Anatolia: Turizm Arastirmalari Dergisi) is the leading tourism journal in Turkey and that tourism management and organization, tourism marketing, and tourism economics were the most popular subjects among the academic community in Turkey. The most prolific authors were assistant professors and research assistants, and the majority of the articles used empirical techniques.
